Frequently asked
What is Sidr and why is it in this formula?
Sidr — known scientifically as Ziziphus Spina-Christi — is an ancient Arabian botanical with documented antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used in traditional skin and hair care across the Arab world for centuries. In this formula, it works alongside Prunella Vulgaris to help reduce breakouts, calm irritation and support a clearer, more balanced complexion. Its efficacy is backed by peer-reviewed published research.
Is the Balance & Soothe Face Serum suitable for all skin types?
Yes. While the formula is particularly effective for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin — given its sebum-regulating and pore-refining properties — it is gentle enough for sensitive skin too. The formula is designed to balance without stripping, making it suitable for daily use across skin types.
When will I start seeing results?
In an independent 6-week cosmetic study, statistically significant improvements in sebum, pore size and acne formation were observed. Most users notice visible changes within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use.
Should I follow the serum with a moisturiser?
Yes, we recommend it. The serum is formulated to regulate oil and refine pores, so following with a lightweight moisturiser helps keep skin balanced and comfortable throughout the day. Apply the serum after cleansing, allow it to absorb, then follow with your moisturiser and SPF.
Are MARIAM EM products Clean?
MARIAM EM does not follow the Clean Beauty movement. There is no agreed standard that defines what "clean" actually means. The concept remains poorly defined within the cosmetics industry, with no legal framework to regulate it. As a result, brands are free to define "clean beauty" according to their own agendas, which risks confusing or misleading consumers.
Instead, MARIAM EM draws inspiration from natural resources and combines them with science-backed compounds to give you a stable, safe and effective product.
